[ADVEllTISEMENT. ] 

The person i-eceiviiig tliis copy is requested to sliow

Tlie iiutlior, having- written this madrigal under se- 
vere sutt'cring- of disease, inciirred in tlie mud (equiva- 
lent; sacred soil) of Viiginia in 18G-2, is fully aware of 
many reasons for criticism which he has not had time 
to rectify this year and he most freely invites all criti- 
cism ; but not abuse, and will be grateful for it : even 
if it stings. 

Tosts which use it and all who choose are requested 
to send a Irank statement of their opinion, pointing 
out defects and merits; as the author hopes in time to 
improve and extend. If it yiroves acceptable, 1 wish 
to make it wortliy of a permanent place in our war- 
time literature. The division into short cantos and 
choruses will make it easy toselcct parts for use, in dif- 
ferent years, no matter liow much of it. Parties wish- 
ing to have personal touching incidents of heroism 
wrought in will please make a true vivid statement to 
me ; but only to honor the dead. 

My jjroposal is to furnish this copy to Posts or to 
any person designated by a Post Commander at iS'/i.SO 
per 100. They arc to be retailed, at 5 cents per copy and 
will be mailed on receipt of price. I projiose heieafter 
to prepare an artistic copy with more pages. 

Orders solicited. Prices on less than 100, twcntj- per 
cent, more ; and less than tifty, twenty-tlve per cent, 
nioi-e than in ordeis for 100.

Discharged and breveted, as vet'rans retired,

Chorus: 
Glory, glory, hallelujah; 
Heaven's Grand Army, is coming now, 
Keeping our Decoration Day, 
As we go marching on. 

\ few stragglers are still tarrying here; 

Waiting till sick call is over forever. 

Waiting the Surgeon's discharging, 

And beds where our comrades repose. 

Till reveille call, in the morning. 

Day by day, we are growing older 

Than, when enlisting, we started for war; 

Parade resting tires us; we are weary of drilling; 

And of ranks at Attention too long. 

We're on duty; watching each bj^-road, 

And keeping the outposts guarded; 

Fearing the enemy's treacherous stealth. 

On pickets, not trained to the schemes. 

And dark plots, of the traitors' contriving 

For cunningly seizing the camp; 

Of those, who swore to be loyal and true. 

With the foulest of mental reserving, 

While plotting rebellion. 

But; I am garrulous; an old man's failing; 
Having always a few more remarks. 

Trumpets are sounding, the "Forward March " order 

To the column, formed by battallion, 

Ready for moving. 
Yes ! we'll be ready, with eyes on the guidon. 
When the order to "fall in " is given. 
Chorus. 

No\v I hear the column advancing. 
To arms ! into line lively forming; 
Standing as formerly, shoulder to shoulder; 
Let's show them our mettlesome spirit. 
(Our drilling is never forgotten.) . 
Arms present ! the column saluting. 
As you did in the days of the war. 

Eagerly scanning the ranks passing by us, 
Like wave after wave, on the ocean, 
Let us watch for the faces we know. 
Don't you mind, in the old-time reviewing, 



i.i.XXi.l.llXXiXilA^lXiikiiiii.i 



# 




ITow the sight of a friend in the colunui 

Rested our arms, relieving the tension 

Of holding out musket too long, 

And made all weariness vanish; 

As stern regulations defying, 

We smiled, and we nodded, and sometinies 
^ Loud shouted our greeting? 

The head of the column is over us now. 
Come to Attention; with guide on the right 
Dress uj) the line; or they will be guessing, 
That we're militia, just at our drilling. 

# I hear the old music, the march of the dead; 
*y But softened, and cheerily sounding the joy 

^, Oveiflowing the hearts of the couuades discharged, 
3A And safelv at home. 

i 

^(»> Now; they are grandly, in melody singing 

aV a beautiful song 1o music of angels. 

dA I cannot sing it, nor i)ut it in writing, 

3/ But; I will give you plainly the meaning. 

# So.N.i: 

qv (4ioiy, glory, hallelujali; 

We are living, all inunortal; 
We are living, from death lifted. 
And we are praising God. 

Fiom the bloody field of battle, 
Or fnmi painful beds of anguish, 
Wc the hcavenlji roll-call answered, 
.\nd we are safe at home. 

Never wounded, never painful, 
Never sleei)ing, never weary; 
We are drinking living water, 
And we shall tliiisl no more. 

Glory, glory, hallelujah; 
We are coming comrades, coming; 
Coming to your loving greeting 
On this most holy day. 

CnoRt's: 

See that glorious leader, 

Bearing so bravely the glistening standard: 

Leading tiu' column. 

I will tell vou his story.
